The Undying Fire: A contemporary novel by H. G. Wells
"The Undying Fire: A contemporary novel" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1919. This modern retelling of the Book of Job follows schoolmaster Job Huss, whose life has collapsed under a series of tragedies: a school epidemic, fatal accidents, his son's death in war, and his own cancer diagnosis. When three board members arrive to dismiss him, Huss defends his educational vision through philosophical debates about humanity's divine potential,
culminating in a visionary encounter with God under anesthesia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
